Let's Talk on the Phone
Practice answering the phone. Cut out the names of the callers and place them on the table with the picture side down. Take turns with a partner, lifting a picture and pretending to answer the call from the person on the card. The caller can be a friend, teacher, principal, grandparent, coach, or telemarketer. Discuss how people behave differently on the phone.
Emojis
Practice recognizing basic emotions represented by emojis (joy, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, disgust). Emoji cards in Attachment 19 can be used as a memory game, where cutting out the pictures from both attachments creates an emoji memory game. Attachment 19 is also suitable for drama exercises to perform different expressions based on the emoji model. The exercise can be done silently as a pantomime.
Emojis
Practice recognizing and interpreting a wider variety of emojis. Emoji cards in Attachment 19 can be used as a memory game and drama exercise, similar to the previous tips. It's useful to discuss the interpretation of different emojis together. An exercise can be done where you say/write something to a friend, but add an emoji card at the end. Then, discuss how the mood or message changes when the emoji at the end of the message is different. For example, "A pretty fun day at school. " or "A pretty fun day at school.
"
